For example, the controller 120/220 may perform a reliability verification read operation based on the number of read operations performed on each of the zones Zone_1c to Zone_nc. For example, if the number of read operations performed on each of the zones Zone_1c to Zone_nc reaches a threshold value, the controller 120/220 may perform the reliability verification read operation. With the reliability verification read operation, data of a memory block where the number of error bits exceeding the reference number of error bits occurs may be read reclaimed to another memory block. For example, the number of read operations performed on each of the zones Zone_1c to Zone_nc means the number of read operations performed on all of one or more memory blocks in each of the zones Zone_1c to Zone_nc.
